ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Warriors 5/8/2019 (Playoffs Round 2, Game 5)

Stay locked in! Refs aint gonna be on our side, it's 5 v 9 tonight... time to switch into the Rocket gear and 'kill' em all. We have won twice in Oracle this year.

 

Welcome aboard! I found this site largely by accident nearly 20 years ago, lurked far too long, and then became a member. Enjoy! Be sure to check out the podcasts by @Clutch. He has a couple of recent ones about this series that he did with a great guest, MK Bower. Cheers!

 

Feels good that this isn’t an elimination game. Doesn’t calm my nerves any less, but at least we’ll be back in Houston regardless. Hopefully it’ll be to close this thing out!

 

I'm already feeling sick.

Not that I think we're completely done if we lose, but it certainly feels like we're playing for a championship tonight.

 

You'll be happy tonight

 

Moving Pick Party commences in 2 hours

 

Thanks for the kind words. Pretty much found this almost by accident. It’s lonley being a Rockets fan in California sometimes.

 

90 minutes

Forgot the past. We just need two b2b victories

That's it.

 

Who is this Dieter Kurtenbach? Given Harden's red eyes and the NBA's integrity, I DO think Commissioner Adam Silver should do something.

 

Welcome, friend. It's a great place to hang out. Everyone's very passionate. That leads to hilarious emotional highs and lows, but people here are good people, and this is THE place to be a Rockets fan. A great community, and now we have one more.

 

Rockets have to understand...we've been in this position before with many of these players. Remember that feeling from last playoffs? You don't want that again. What more motivation could one team have? Get 'er done!

 

Since Game 2, there's been an upward-looking trend in Rockets' play. It's independent of where they play. It's a good sign. They have to keep that trend continuing upward in this game because this is just as crucial a game for the Warriors, and they're going to bring it

Seeing Harden acknowledge that the only way they'll win is to play physical is exactly what I wanted to hear. Go tear into them, guys.

Also, please keep scoring in the final minutes. Thank you.

 

Legacy's on the line tonight

 

I think we kick their ass tonight. 15 point victory.

 

Wait!?! Am I seeing things!?! Another California rockets fan!?!

 

we've been in this exact same position, with the exact same ref too

 

lulz Paul ... statement? “Hey, I haven’t worn my Hampton threads in awhile. I think I’ll pack them for the trip.”

 

Every home team has won game 5 in the 2nd round until now. Rockets bout to break that.

 

Faried out due to personal reason
